Website stats: how many people visit

What you see

With Website stats, each brand's Website tab shows a Visits card:

• Visits, visitors and pages viewed for the last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or 12 months, with the change on the period before.
• A chart of visits each day.
• Top pages and Where visitors came from (for example Google, a social network, or typed or bookmarked). Each list shows the top five; press Show more for up to ten.

How it's counted

We count visits from our own web server's records once a day, so figures run up to yesterday. A visit is a run of pages viewed by the same visitor without a long break.

• Search engines, bots, uptime checkers and our own checks are left out.
• Scripts that fetch pages without loading the page itself, such as floods on a form, are not counted.
• Visitors is an estimate of different people: someone who visits on two devices counts twice.

Privacy

Nothing is added to your website: no tracking code and no cookies, so Website stats doesn't need a cookie banner. Visitors are told apart only while we count each day; we keep daily totals, page addresses and the websites visitors came from, never anything that identifies a person. Mention in your own privacy notice that your hosting provider counts visits to your website.

Getting it

Website stats is an add-on. Find it in Marketplace, or ask us. It works for websites we host.
